The Ideal of the Practical
The Ideal of the Practical is a study of efforts by a segment of the upper class in an aristocratic Latin American society to alter cultural values in the society, creating stronger orientations toward the technical and the practical.

Historia de la primera República de Colombia, 1819-1831. “Decid Colombia sea, y Colombia será”
Esta obra trata de una ambición política. De una ambición política de venezolanos, así su resultado se llamara Colombia. Granadinos, guayaquileños y panameños la sufrieron, pero si vamos a ser piadosos, nadie la sufrió más que el pueblo de la provincia de Pasto. Como toda ambición política es digna de admiración y, como toda ambición que pone en acción muchas conductas encontradas, nadie pudo en su tiempo prever hasta dónde se llegaría con ella.
